It has been confirmed that during the Community Day on June 16th 2018, if you evolve Pupitar into Tyranitar during the three hour window, or do a Tyranitar raid, your Tyranitar will know the fast move, Smack Down. This is the first time a Community Day special move has been a Fast Move rather than a Charge Move. The Community Day runs at the following times:
The Asia-Pacific region: 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. JST (GMT +9)

It is currently unclear for how long the filter will be available
